Mega 64 is a group of people who make comedic videos about video games. If you have played Resident Evil 4, This video is hilarious. If not, go check out their website or youtube group and find a video game you have played. Trust me, it’s worth it.

Games such as Rockband and Guitar Hero have been a hit at parties. People have continued to buy 200 dollars worth of plastic instruments for the last 5 years. However, recently the music video game industry have basically been destroyed. Guitar Hero was sold to some one for a small amount of 50 dollars. Rockband recently went out of business just last week as well. The reason for this? There are different theories but the one that seems to make sense is too many music video games. Every week they release new tracks or a new music game like beetles rockband or iphone guitar hero. People have finally grown sick of music video games and in my opinion its about time. Now, the question is whether it will come back in a few years or if it is officially dead. Comment on what you think will happen.

Many good games have come out within the first half of 2010 and I have personally played about 3 games that stand a chance for game of the year for 2010.

God of war 3

God of war 3 is definitely a nomination for game of the year. It was about 8 to 10 hours long and pure gory action. The whole story and setting of the game is really what makes it great for me personally. It is also well reviewed and known for great action and really brutal fighting. This game was sadly missing multiplayer and it really lacks any replay ability. However I do applaud them and respect them for not tacking on a bad multiplayer experience. It was a great game but I feel this does not stack up with the other 2 games on the list.

Red Dead Redemption

Red Dead Redemption took me about 10 to 12 hours to beat but for most it takes about 20 hours. After you finish the main story, The whole world is still really compelling (for most) and contains so much to do. This game is a lot like GTA 4 but it has a very unique environment that I really enjoyed. I finished the game and stopped after that because I usually find the side missions of many game to be a waste of time. The story was really great and it is well worth a play through. Then, the game offers a multiplayer experience. I played some of it and I personally did not like what it had to offer. It reminded me of GTA 4 multiplayer and I was never a fan of that. However, many people do enjoy the multiplayer so it is all personal preference. This game is definitely impressive ,but it still is not at the level of this last game.

Mario Galaxy 2

Nintendo has had a pretty low amount of good games throughout the last few years. One thing you can almost always trust to be a good game is a Nintendo first party game (zelda, mario, super smash, etc.). Mario Galaxy 2 came out and I really was not a fan of the first and I ended up seeing some of the best ratings I have ever seen. I decided to buy it and see what all the fuss was about and it was AMAZING. If you have a Wii, GET THIS GAME! The game took me about 8 to 12 hours and was superb througout (Keep in mind I have played a lot of Mario so I am pretty good). This was the first game that I literally could not put down. I beat the game in 2 days and tried to get all of the stars. With Red Dead, I had to force myself to play because as cool as it was, it was not the most fun. On the other hand, Galaxy 2 was a game I had to force myself off of. Another thing is the replay value. This game was so fun that I wanted to do all of the extra stars and every star was really fun to get. This game is one of the few that just knows how to make a game pure fun. Sure you can’t steal a horse of rob someone, but it doesn’t matter because the game is just FUN. It also is super creative and makes every level feel different. I have no idea how they keep everything fresh and how they come up with these ideas. It also keeps things fresh by having only 2 to 3 stars per planet. This game is definitely the first runner for game of the year and might even be one of the best games of all time. Please pick it up

This is a link to the video of how to do this glitch. This glitch took 7 years to figure out and it allows you to play as the Master Hand. Rumors have always floated around about different characters you could unlock by doing ridiculous things and finally one proves to be true. I remember reading about being Mr. Potato Head if you beat the game and then turned the system off on the last boss. Yes, I use to be that foolish

Konami and Ubisoft really surprised me with how much junk they had at their press conferences. If you saw them live, I am sorry. Also, I really have to point out the skittles cat from Microsoft Kinect. I was watching the Microsoft press conference live and was all pumped with gears of war 3 and many more hardcore games. All of a sudden, they show that kinectamals demo and I literally had to get up and walk out of the room. I could not even watch that epic fail. The Konami one is kind of entertaining though.

Today, many great games are being canceled due to money issues and many other problems.

Halo 4 was considered

Halo 4 was something Bungie considered before making Reach. They decided to not make it and I think that because they want to move on to new and bigger things. I applaud that because they don’t over use there franchise like some games (‘cough’ call of duty). Believe it or not, a Halo for the Nintendo DS was also being designed and I am not exactly sure why it was canceled. It really looks like they did a lot of work on it too.

One of my favorite companies by the name Free Radical totally went downhill and 2 great sequels were canceled. They had Star Wars Battlefront 3 in development as well as Timesplitters 4. Many of the employees were picked up by another game company but the projects may have been dropped. It sucks to see such great franchises go down because of economic problems.
